At some point, Oak was a lecturer at [[Celadon University]], where [[Foster]] was one of his top students. In [[Professor Elm]]'s [[EP117|debut]], he mentioned that he was one of Oak's top performing students at the university. In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it was revealed that Oak also taught [[Spencer Hale]] and {{Ash}}'s mother {{Delia}}.

In ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'' Professor Oak mentioned that, he decided to become a [[Pokémon Professor]] after seeing the fossil of an {{p|Omanyte}} shell during a museum visit.


[[JN001|Four years before the start of the series]], Professor Oak hosted a Pokémon Summer Camp, where he lectured the many attendees including [[Goh]] and [[Chloe]] about Pokémon. After hearing about Goh and Chloe's encounter with an unknown Pokémon, Oak told them the Pokémon they saw was most likely the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}, inspiring Goh to catch Mew one day. Some time later, he would host another camp which was attended by Ash and {{an|Serena}}.

Professor Oak debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', appearing on a late night television show explaining the three [[starter Pokémon]] that [[Pokémon Trainer]]s would receive. The next day, three Trainers from [[Pallet Town]], including his grandson, [[Gary Oak]], came to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]], ready to become Pokémon Trainers. Oak gave them each a starter Pokémon, including giving Gary his {{TP|Gary|Squirtle|Blastoise}}, though this wasn't revealed [[EP269|until much later]] in the series. Later that same day, Ash came to him as he was also starting his [[Pokémon journey]] and needed his first Pokémon. But because he was so late, the only Pokémon that Oak had left was a rebellious {{AP|Pikachu}}.

But because he was so late, the only Pokémon that Oak had left was a rebellious {{AP|Pikachu}}.


In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]'', Oak called the [[Viridian City]] [[Pokémon Center]] after hearing that Ash had already made it there from his mother. He stated how he was surprised that he had made it that far, and expressed doubts he had when Ash first left. Mentioning making a bet of a million dollars with Gary that Ash hadn't captured any new Pokémon, he was disappointed to hear that this was indeed true and he had lost the bet with his grandson. When Ash told him that he had seen an {{an|Ho-Oh|unknown Pokémon}}, which resembled the {{p|Articuno|stone carving above him}}, he waved it away as nonsense, saying that Trainers have searched their whole lives for that Pokémon, and none have succeeded.

Over the course of Ash and Gary's journeys, Professor Oak took care of the Pokémon they captured that were sent to his lab. He would often gloat about how much farther ahead his grandson was to Ash like in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', which often caused Ash to be extra competitive. During the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], Oak became greatly disappointed when he discovered that Gary had lost in the third round, but decided to look on the bright side, telling {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} that it would do Gary good to see "every road has a few bumps along the way." He had arrived with Ash's mother with the goal of cheering Ash on in mind.

Following the Indigo Plateau Conference, Professor Oak asked Ash to pick up a [[GS Ball|mysterious Poké Ball]] from his friend, [[Professor Ivy]], who lives on [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]]. He wasn't at all surprised when Ash called him asking if he could compete in the [[Orange League]]. Though he wanted to study the GS Ball, he also wanted Ash to compete in the league so that he can get more training. During Ash's adventures in the Orange Islands, he befriended a [[Pokémon watcher]] by the name of [[Tracey Sketchit]] who was a great admirer of Professor Oak. When the group returned to Pallet Town in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Tracey asked if he could become his assistant, which Oak graciously accepted.

Not being able to discover the mystery behind the GS Ball, Professor Oak called for Ash's assistance once more and asked him to travel to the [[Johto]] region and give the Ball to his friend [[Kurt]]. He also explained that there were many new Pokémon out west which made Ash all the more eager to go and catch up with his rival, Gary. Ash completed this task in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', leaving the GS Ball in Kurt's possession for further study.

Oak traveled to [[Hoenn]] in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'' to meet with [[Professor Birch]] for the first time and brought along the Kanto starter Pokémon as they interacted with the Hoenn starters. [[Max]] was particularly excited to meet his idol in person, but the meeting was interrupted when {{TRT}} kidnapped both the Hoenn and Kanto starters. Oak, {{an|May}}, and Max followed Team Rocket to their cave headquarters and later worked together to escape the facility with the starter Pokémon.

In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and The Right Mime]]'', Professor Oak noticed that one of his {{TP|May|Squirtle}} felt most comfortable being with May, and offered it for her to raise into a strong Pokémon. He also agreed to look after her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} after seeing that it was interested in learning from Ash's own {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.

Oak made plans to travel to the [[Unova]] region to meet with his friend, [[Professor Juniper]], in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and invited {{Delia}} and {{Ash}} to go with him. He had since returned to Kanto as seen in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'', where Ash called his laboratory from [[Nimbasa City]].

In ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Ash called Professor Oak to inform about his loss at the [[Vertress Conference]]. In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', the Professor appeared again in a video lecture about the Kanto starter Pokémon that was presented at the [[Kanto Fair]], accompanied by Tracey. Later, [[Ash's Charizard]] came to his lab from the [[Charicific Valley]] so Ash would switch him for his {{AP|Unfezant}}. Oak liked the idea of Unfezant being with him, as she could make good friends with [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Staraptor}}.

Professor Oak makes a few appearances in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. He is a role model to {{Ash}} and is [[Bill]]'s mentor. Unlike in the anime, he does not give Ash his {{AP|Pikachu}}; in fact, he does not meet Ash until after he has already begun his Pokémon journey.
Professor Oak made a few appearances in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] as a role model to {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and as [[Bill]]'s mentor. Unlike in the anime, he did not give Ash his {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}}; in fact, he did not meet Ash until after he has already begun his Pokémon journey.
 
Ash met Professor Oak for the first time in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'' at [[Mt. Moon]] after Ash had been wandering lost in the mountains for weeks, searching for a rare {{p|Clefairy}}. Oak, who had been living among the Clefairy, rescued Ash and introduced him to Bill and a tribe of wild Clefairy. The three attended the tribe's [[evolution]] ceremony, after which Oak gave Ash the latest upgrade to the [[Pokédex]] for free, months before it would be available to the public.

Ash later encountered Oak again in ''[[ET10|Clefairy in Space]]'', where he was investigating strange activity, which turned out to be caused by another group of Clefairy.

Professor Oak acted as one of the announcers of the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] in ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'' and ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]''.


Ash encounters Oak one last time at the Pokémon Research Center in ''[[ET14|The Orange Islands]]'', shortly before he travels to the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Here, the Professor and Bill are researching a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Slowpoke}} that was found in the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

In this canon, Oak first began his Pokémon journey when he was six years old, in which he traveled with his father (who was also a Professor) on research expeditions. During his first journey, he caught a {{p|Charmander}} which eventually evolved into a {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a {{p|Charizard}}.
