Professor Oak (Pocket Monsters): Difference between revisions

Professor Oak first appears in ''[[PM001|Clefairy's Debut!!]]'' where he calls in {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} and {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} to {{TP|Professor Oak|his lab|laboratory}} to get their first Pokémon. Green beats Red to the lab when they were racing. When both Trainers were in the lab, Oak tells them the news (other than the fact that he is bald) that he is requesting them to go out on a journey to fill up the Pokédex. Afterwards, he gives them each a Pokédex and gives Green a choice between three [[starter Pokémon]], a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, in which Green chooses {{TP|Green|Charmander}}. Before Green left, a {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} comes in. Oak did not allow that Clefairy in the lab as he was known for causing mischief. Clefairy calms Oak down by massaging him, making him forget what happened. As it was Red's turn to choose, Red decides to choose the Clefairy as he enjoyed Clefairy's silliness.

In ''[[PM012|Will You Risk Your Life to Play the Magic Game?!]]'', Professor Oak tells the two Trainers about a legendary Pokémon, {{p|Articuno}} in the [[Seafoam Islands]], where it made its major appearance in the [[PM013|next chapter]]. He becomes the announcer and judge in ''[[PM019|The No.1 Pokémon!!]]'' of the No. 1 Pokémon contest where he rates the performances of the Pokémon that went on stage, much to Clefairy's annoyance. Professor Oak reappears in ''[[PM021|Pokémon Baseball Tournament!!]]'' as the umpire of a baseball match that Red and Green participate. He tells both Trainers that he'll give a prize to the winner of the baseball match. After a long hard fought match, he gives the prize to Red who ended up winning the event. The prize turned out to be Exeggcute which chase Red and his pals away.

Professor Oak makes an appearance in ''[[PM023|Clefairy Evolves... At Last?!]]'' where he contacts Red that he is on his way. Red laughs at him, as he doesn't believe that Professor Oak is telling the truth. He shows up and takes Red and the others to a museum which contained fossilized Pokémon. Professor Oak meets up with his friend who works there. He also gets to reunite with the {{p|Eevee}} that he used to have, as it was now use for experimental purposes relating with its evolutions. He watches the Eevee battle with Red's Clefairy and witnessed Eevee evolve into three different Pokémon. Red tells him that he doesn't want this but Professor Oak tells him that it was for experimental purposes and the battle must continue.

Professor Oak makes a cameo in ''[[PM037|Get that 10 Billion Yen!! (Special Side-Story)]]'' where he tells Red and Green to go into Giovanni's mansion in order to pay off the deal that Giovanni made wwith him.

Professor Oak makes a cameo in the beginning of ''[[PMRS45|Find The Ancient Pokémon!!]]'' where he is searching for an {{p|Aerodactyl}} covered in Old Amber. In ''[[PMRS57|Spring Cleaning Mayhem!]]'', Professor Oak bought himself a new car. He is visited by Red and his Pokémon in his house. Professor Oak along with Red and his Pokémon unpack in his new house. Professor Oak then goes to his office. When Red and the group checked on him, he wakes up and discovers that the house was still empty as the garbage men took away the moving supplies as they thought it was trash. Professor Oak still had his car only to discover that it was full of water.

Professor Oak has returned to Johto as of [[PMHGSS03]]. A Team Rocket Grunt tells him a joke which makes him laugh. However, Clefairy's kimono costume ruined it. The grunt still allowed Professor Oak to stay. In [[PMHGSS08]], a bunch of officers were with Professor Oak. Professor Oak reveals his new invention inside a shiny briefcase, which caused the attraction of some Team Rocket Grunts. Red and his Pokémon did everything they can to get the grunts away from them. Professor Oak made a cameo in a flashback in [[PMHGSS15]] where {{p|Cleffa}} was telling the group a story.

In [[PMHGSS18]], he is the attendant of a contest where people get to sign up. His job was also to stamp the found locations that was assigned on a sheet of paper. Later, Professor Oak was at his house and some tourists come by. Clefairy manages to help them. He takes some wood from the sign to Professor Oak's house and builds a fireplace out of it. He also takes part of Professor Oak's house to build a stable. Professor Oak appeared in [[PMHGSS20]] where he along with the other Pokémon professors try to get rid of Red's Clefairy as Clefairy was considered a bad influence towards them.
