Rachael Lillis, who was cherished for her memorable portrayals in the Pokémon series, has died at 46.

Lillis gave the voices to numerous characters in the well-liked Japanese animation series for characters in Misty and Jessie.

Veronica Taylor, who co-stars as Ash Ketchum, the main Pokémon character, revealed her death.

The co-star wrote, "Rachael was an extraordinary talent, a bright light that shone through her voice whether speaking or singing."

She added, "We all know Rachael Lillis from the many wonderful roles she played.”

Taylor continued, "She filled our Saturday mornings and before/after school hours with her beautiful voice, her terrific comic timing, and her remarkable acting skills."

She said Lillis was grateful for the support she received as she battled cancer.

"It truly made a positive difference,” she also noted.

Lillis's death was verified by her sister on a GoFundMe that was started earlier this year to pay for Lillis's cancer treatment and to transfer her into a nursing facility.

Laurie Orr commented, "This was unexpected and we are completely grief-stricken," mentioning that her sister's condition had started to deteriorate a week ago.

"My heart breaks losing my dear little sister, though I am comforted knowing she is free," she stated.
