It has been a sad and tragic month for all of us fans who loved everything in the world. Not only the Furaffinity site owner/creator Dragoneer has passed away a week ago from a unidentified lung infection in his body but clearly, he is not the only one who died this month.

Rachael Lillis, best known for providing the English voices of Misty and Jessie in the Pokémon anime series has sadly and tragically passed away on August 10th, 2024 at the age of 55 after a year battle with breast cancer.

Fellow actress Veronica Taylor and voice of Ash Ketchum broke the news on X, calling Lillis a bright light who will be “forever remembered by many Pokemon fans and for many generations and so for the roles she played in the series.

Besides voicing Misty and Jessie, Lillis also voiced Jigglypuff in the anime and in the Super Smash Bros series of fighting games for all three games.

Misty was my top 10 favorite female Pokemon character. I can’t believe Rachael Lillis die from the worse tragic sick disease. It feels like a burden to people who has them. Sometimes life can be cruel at the end when your young honestly. Cancer is a evil disease. I really respect her roles and talents as Misty and Jesse in the anime series. This is exactly why I love Pokemon franchise so much.

R.I.P Rachael Lillis. I hope your next life goes well. Thank you for all your hard work. 😞
