Veronica Taylor, the original English voice of Ash Ketchum, shared the sad news:
>”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.”
>”It is with a very heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of Rachael Lillis on Saturday evening, 10 August, 2024.
>”Rachael was an extraordinary talent, a bright light that shone through her voice whether speaking or singing. She will be forever remembered for the many animated roles she played, with her iconic performances as Pokemon’s Misty and Jessie being the most beloved. Rachael was so thankful for all the generous love and support that was given to her as she battled cancer. It truly made a positive difference. Her family also wishes to thank you as they take this time to grieve privately. A memorial is being planned for a future date.

Damn had no idea she voiced both characters, and both were so different too. An iconic voice from my childhood for sure.
Rest in peace.

What??? I’m shocked and terribly saddened… Really makes you think how long we have on this earth… Another 60 years? 20? 5 years?
Genuinely sucks to hear cancer take another victim.

My childhood favorites just slowly fizzling out… guess it gets worse as you hit your 40’s…
I_LIKE_YOU_
I feel like a piece of my childhood just died.
I didn’t know anything about her, but she is connected to some good memories of watching this before going to school.

Important note, this was the OG voice for Misty and Jessie, as in she voiced Jessie and Misty up until after Pokemon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew released, in which they switched to another voice actor.
