This isn't the first time Ingo has pet Silvally by any means. It's generally not cuddly with him, or with anyone but Gladion (and, now, the two other children it walked through the Pale Fog with). There's the fact that it never has been indiscriminately cuddly, before; the strange new discrepancy in strengths makes it nervous, too.
But it kind of wants a hug from someone other than Gladion, right at this moment.
So it leans into the petting. And shuffles closer still.]
