First you need to fix the prototype of your function. It should be

int* Init(int** p, int num);  

Then fix the function definition

int* Init(int** p, int num)
{
    //int *pp;   // You don not need this variable
    *p = malloc(num*sizeof(int));   // Allocate memory
    if (!*p)
    {
        printf("Cannot allocate memory\n");
        return NULL; // Return a NULL pointer
    }

    return *p;
}
