The tags appended to your post indicate that you have an iPad Pro 10.5”. For this model of iPad, you will require a first generation Apple Pencil.

Be aware that if your Pencil has been set-aside for an extended period, unused and uncharged, the Pencil battery may now be irretrievably damaged through deep discharge. In common with all Li-ion batteries, they must always have some level of charge.
