Professor Sada/Professor Turo, known mostly as LakehouseShipping, Saturo and/or フトゥオリ (Futuori), is a common ship in the Pokémon fandom. It pairs Professor Sada (Olim) and Professor Turo (Futu). Sada is the primary Professor character, antagonist force and mother of Arven, one of the player's rivals, in Pokémon Scarlet while Turo has the same roles in Pokémon Violet.

They are semi-canonically a canon couple, as in Scarlet Arven's father is never mentioned in vice-versa. Common fanon is that they divorced sometime prior to the games' storylines, with each version being an alternate telling of the same essential plot with Arven.

This article considers both the human and AI versions of Sada and Turo as the same character. In some circles, ArtificialParadiseShipping is used specifically for AI Sada/AI Turo.

-Shipping Name Origin

"LakehouseShipping" was coined by YourBlueberryMajesty sometime before 28 November 2022. It's a reference to the 2006 movie The Lake House, which is about two people who live in the same lake house, but at different periods of time, who communicate through a mailbox that sends letters across time and fall in love.

The name may be confused as "LighthouseShipping", since both Sada and/or Turo lived in a lighthouse with Arven, not a lakehouse. ParadoxShipping was also somewhat common in the beginning before falling off in usage by 2023.
