Jack's connection with the Lucario deepened, and he began to understand the Pokémon's thoughts and emotions.

The Lucario, sensing Jack's kindness and determination, began to trust him. It nodded its head, and Jack felt a surge of energy flow through their bond.

Cynthia watched in awe. "This is incredible! Jack, you're forming a true bond with the Lucario."

Professor Rowan smiled. "This is the key to becoming a true Pokémon Master, Jack. The bond between trainer and Pokémon is what sets the greatest trainers apart."

As Jack continued to connect with the Lucario, he began to realize the true potential of his powers. He could sense the emotions and thoughts of all the Pokémon around him, and he knew that he could use this power to become a truly great trainer.
