Rachael Lillis, a voice actor who starred in many “Pokémon” films and series as the characters Misty, Jessie and more, died Aug. 10. She was 46.

Lillis was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2024. Veronica Taylor, Lillis’ “Pokémon” co-star who voiced the lead character Ash Ketchum, posted a statement on X Monday morning that announced Lillis’ death.

Dang, RIP. I still have a copy of the first movie, signed by all three voice actors (my mum ordered it for a birthday when I was much younger, around the time of the movie release).

That's incredibly young.
