He is described as being an expert on all things Pokémon, but also "just a mean old nut." He makes his first actual appearance in the next round, ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', where he finds Red looking at the many Pokémon in his lab. Mistaking Red for a thief, Professor Oak yells at him but in the process, accidentally causes Red to release all of the Pokémon. After getting most of the Pokémon back, they find the last one, a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, in the [[Viridian Gym]] and get it back after fending off a wild {{p|Machoke}}. Having bonded with the boy and seeing great potential in him, Professor Oak gives Red the Bulbasaur along with a Pokédex. He tells Red to try going to [[Viridian Forest]] and watches as he and his grandson, {{adv|Blue}}, begin their rivalry. Later, after [[Saur]] evolves into an {{p|Ivysaur}}, he is called by Red to report it; after being told about the Professor's third Pokémon, a {{p|Squirtle}}, the Professor reveals to Red that someone had stolen it. | ||
When Red returns to Pallet Town to ask Professor Oak for information on getting into the then-closed [[Saffron City]], he finds a {{p|Kadabra}} disguising itself as the Professor. He manages to defeat it and finds out that Saffron City has been taken over by [[Team Rocket]] and sets out to defeat them. It is later revealed by [[Koga]] that Team Rocket had captured Professor Oak when he refused to help them with their evil plans. | When Red returns to Pallet Town to ask Professor Oak for information on getting into the then-closed [[Saffron City]], he finds a {{p|Kadabra}} disguising itself as the Professor.

In the second chapter, Professor Oak is seen talking to [[Misty]] about the currently missing Red while he works on his new Pokédex. When he notices a charge of electricity flowing through his doorknob, Oak assumes it's Red and [[Pika]] and opens the door to let them in. Instead of Red, the Professor and Misty are shocked to find out that a heavily injured Pika was the one knocking on the door. | In the second chapter, Professor Oak is seen talking to [[Misty]] about the currently missing Red while he works on his new Pokédex.

As he | As he prepares to heal Pika and sends Misty to inform the other [[Gym Leader]]s of the news, Professor Oak is visited by a mysterious {{adv|Yellow|boy}} in a straw hat. He watches in shock as the boy magically heals Pika and takes him away. Before the boy can leave, Oak attacks him with his {{p|Spearow}} to stop him from taking Pika away. The battle ends with neither Pokémon taking any damage but Oak is convinced enough to let the boy take Pika, let him borrow Red's Pokédex, and go off to find the missing Red. | ||
Later, he is seen being reported by Misty, [[Erika]], and [[Brock]] about the attacks on {{ci|Pewter}}, {{ci|Cerulean}}, and {{ci|Celadon}} cities. He reveals to his granddaughter, [[Daisy Oak|Daisy]] about Yellow's current location and situation. | Later, he is seen being reported by Misty, [[Erika]], and [[Brock]] about the attacks on {{ci|Pewter}}, {{ci|Cerulean}}, and {{ci|Celadon}} cities.

Later, it begins to rain heavily and Professor Oak finds [[Joey]] and [[Aibo]] hanging off a branch and saves them from falling into the flooding river. He witnesses Gold saving Joey's {{p|Rattata}} and rescues him from falling off a waterfall. After Gold begs him for the Pokédex again and after answering a question about what he thinks Pokémon are to him Oak decides that he is worthy enough of owning one. | Later, it begins to rain heavily and Professor Oak finds [[Joey]] and [[Aibo]] hanging off a branch and saves them from falling into the flooding river.

Much later, Oak is seen attempting to capture some wild {{p|Slugma}} but fails miserably. Realizing that he is too old for things like this, Professor Oak looks for a capture expert that he can act as his assistant for research. He gets a message from Bill who states that he had found someone who is perfect for the job. He goes to the address the person sent, the [[Earl Dervish]] Pokémon Academy, and finds that the Slugma he failed to capture before are attacking it. He tries to stop them from attacking the school but is saved by {{adv|Crystal}} who just happens to be the person that answered his request.

As he sends Crystal on her first mission, he is shocked to find out that she has already caught several Pokémon beforehand. He talks to Elm about the third Pokémon that wasn't taken by a Trainer, {{p|Chikorita}}, and how they wanted to let it go with Crystal but could not because she had a full team. Once Chikorita learns of the truth, he attacks Elm and runs off; Professor Oak tries to inform Crystal of this but couldn't because her phone was turned off. | As he sends Crystal on her first mission, he is shocked to find out that she has already caught several Pokémon beforehand.

However, with the Pokémon Transporter broken, Crystal cannot send Pokémon to them for research. After Bill gives Crystal an alternative way for transporting Pokémon, Professor Oak can be seen being overwhelmed by the many Pokémon Crystal is sending him, eventually falling asleep from exhaustion. | ||
Later, Professor Oak and Crystal are seen discussing the Pokémon that had been attacking the Johto Gym Leaders, {{p|Suicune}}. Knowing of her previous encounter with Suicune, Professor Oak adds a new feature to her Pokédex, the Tracking System, allowing her to track its current location. | Later, Professor Oak and Crystal are seen discussing the Pokémon that had been attacking the Johto Gym Leaders, {{p|Suicune}}.

After Green gave Professor Oak her Pokédex and left, he was attacked by Orm who intended to steal his Pokédexes. Luckily, Professor Oak managed to record the attack on the Fame Checker meant for Green, allowing the Pokédex holders to see the real reason as to why he wanted the Pokédexes. | ||
Professor Oak is eventually found beaten and handcuffed to the walls of [[Trainer Tower]] but once Blue goes to rescue him, it is revealed that it was only a 3D image. Eventually the real Professor Oak is found and rescued along with Green's parents once Blue defeats the central computer of Trainer Tower, "R", with his {{TP|Blue|Porygon2}}. While Green's parents left with [[Lorelei]] so they can be taken to safety, Professor Oak stayed behind to retrieve the stolen Pokédexes. | Professor Oak is eventually found beaten and handcuffed to the walls of [[Trainer Tower]] but once Blue goes to rescue him, it is revealed that it was only a 3D image.

Professor Oak makes his first personal appearance in ''[[PS317|Sneaky Like Shedinja]]'' in a flashback where it is revealed that in his attempt to free the Pokédex holders, he contacted [[Scott]] and asked to borrow his {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}.

He also tells him about how he managed to decipher a report containing information regarding the location and time Jirachi will appear — which so happens to be where the Battle Frontier is located — however, his laboratory was attacked and some of the report was stolen, notably the location and time of Jirachi's appearance. He then warns of the mysterious character. Scott allows for the capture on one condition: the allowance of one wish from Jirachi; Oak reluctantly accepts and forces Gold and Crystal to remember it once he sends them to the Battle Frontier. | ||
Later, Crystal reports to Professor Oak about Emerald's current winning records and showers him with reports about his progress and the mysterious [[Guile Hideout]]. As Crystal begins preparing to go and support Emerald at the Frontier, they are approached by [[Professor Birch]] who was invited there by Professor Oak. They discuss the sending of the other Hoenn Pokédex holders, {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, to the Battle Frontier to help Emerald along with Birch's missing third Pokémon, {{p|Treecko}}. | Later, Crystal reports to Professor Oak about Emerald's current winning records and showers him with reports about his progress and the mysterious [[Guile Hideout]].

Later, in a flashback of Emerald's past, it is revealed that the young silhouette that Oak met at the end of the third chapter was in fact, Emerald. It is shown that while he did hand the Pokédex to Emerald, he took it away almost immediately because he knew that he was lying about loving Pokémon. After some convincing, Professor Oak temporarily registers Emerald into the Pokédex until he can find something that is unique about him. Once he does, Professor Oak allows him to have it but a flood trapped the person who had it, Professor Birch, in a tree. | Later, in a flashback of Emerald's past, it is revealed that the young silhouette that Oak met at the end of the third chapter was in fact, Emerald.
