Rachael Lillis, who portrayed beloved characters in the Pokémon series like Misty and Jessie, left for heavenly abode on August 10. The 46-year-old voice artist has been fighting breast cancer since May. Her co-star in Pokémon, Veronica Taylor, who provided the voice of Ash Ketchum, the main character, shared the shocking news. Taylor honoured her friend and coworker in a moving statement that she shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Sharing the post on social media, she wrote, “We all know Rachael Lillis from the many wonderful roles she played. She filled our Saturday mornings and before/after school hours with her beautiful voice, her terrific comic timing, and her remarkable acting skills. #RachaelLillis (sic).”
