Gladion puts a battle court's space between them, and only then looks up. He doesn't feel at all like he's got this, but he can act like he's got this.
Look Akira in the eye. Imagine another life, where they're not in the fog god's stupid hellish playground, and where Gladion isn't so beholden to his mother's collateral damage that he doesn't have stupid normal friends to have stupid normal battles with for stupid normal fun. Silvally is there, and every step they take is taken together, and neither of them are afraid.
Hold up that rock. Take a deep breath, and no more hesitating.]
