The first generation Apple Pencil is not compatible with the iPad Air4 or 2018/2020/2021 models of iPad Pro. A first generation Apple Pencil uses the physical Lightning port of a compatible iPad for both pairing and charging the first generation Pencil. This pencil can only be used with compatible iPad models that have a Lightning connector.
The first and second generation Pencil use an entirely different pairing and charging interface. The second generation Pencil can only be used with iPad models that have the magnetic/inductive dock that is exclusively designed for the Pencil. Charging is controlled via the iPad magnetic dock; the second generation Pencil cannot be charged using a charging mat or Qi charging solutions.
In summary, the Apple Pencil models are not interchangeable - and can only be used with the iPad that has appropriate internal hardware.
Here is the definitive compatibility list for Apple Pencil and iPad:

Nope.
You need to purchase the 2nd gen Pencil.
Both versions of the Pencil pair and charge differently.
Sorry.
