Apple pencil will not pair with Ipad

I am trying to connect my new Apple Pencil 1st gen to my iPad 9th gen. The website says that they are compatible but I can not get them to pair. I have connected the two with the adapter and no pair request appears. I have turned the iPad off and on again, but there is still nothing. The Pencil doesn't even appear in the Bluetooth options for me to reset it. It is like my iPad doesn't even recognize there is anything attached to it.

Am I doing something wrong, Is the Apple site wrong about about compatibility, or is my Apple Pencil broken?

iPad, iPadOS 17

You're right. I was confused by the Lightning to USBC adapter because my iPad came with a Lightning to USBC charger. I was trying to use that cable to connect the two. I tried again without the cable and it worked. Thank you for your quick response.

What adapter? You should not need any adapter to pair a First Gen Apple Pencil to a 9th Gen iPad.

The Pencil just plugs straight into the charge port on the iPad. If you are using any kind of adapter, then that may be the issue.
