Narrative:

Maneuvering at 1700' at the beach practice area southeast of pns / nun; pensacola approach controller issued a traffic alert 1nm to the north of my position at 1700'. I replied with 'negativate contact call sign' and nothing else was mentioned. I climbed from 1700' to 2100'; traffic was spotted at my 11:30 no more than 100' above (likely at 2200'). Controller was prompted with the near miss and claimed I hadn't reply to her traffic advisory. The other aircraft was a PA-28 and they didn't have us in sight. Classic high wing cessna below and low wing piper above; and a lack of the controller's input regarding both aircraft's decision to climb in order to avoid each other.
